It does look to have spent time in Europe. The frame shaping is very Prussian looking. And the forend attachment is also European. And the FN buttplate, well…
Who knows what is up with the rib. With how everything looks you would think the barrels to be sleeved. But they dont look like it. No proof or import marks, which is odd if it were overseas.
And the checkering is totally Bodgered up. I would guess the checkering was not done by the same hand that did some of the other work.
I kind of dig a few things about it. Namely the frame reworking.
interesting for sure.
